Moab and Edom

29. Charach Moba - (al-Karak)

The city is shown as a walled fortress. In the south, we see a gate flanked by two towers, and nearby, east of it, a church with a red roof. Two colonnaded streets run from south to north, the central one leading to a big church, probably the cathedral.

The Moabites take origin from Lot. Their metropolis is called now Charachmoba. (Theodoretus, In Isaiam 15,1)
